Post #38

Hello, hello 👋 Welcome to another day of primaries. The first thing you should know: Rep. Liz Cheney’s day of reckoning is upon us. Wyoming Republicans will choose today whether to stick with Cheney — the GOP face of the anti-Trump movement — or nominate another Republican candidate, most likely Trump-endorsed Harriet Hageman. Trump made it his mission to oust Cheney from Congress after she voted to impeach him. Cheney continues to talk about the danger she believes Trump poses to American democracy. Her position is likely to cost Cheney her political career — at least for now. There’s also drama in Alaska in the race to finish out the late GOP Rep. Don Young’s House term with Sarah Palin working to make a comeback after more than a decade away from electoral politics. The race is dividing Alaskans, who remember that Palin pioneered the brand of conservative populism that Trump later perfected — but also that she has a mixed record of public service to the state. We’ll be back tomorrow with an update.
